Normally the machine will run for a week or two at a time, sometimes 3, without an occurrence, but I will now and then get messages in my logs about problems with one of the drives. When the machine comes back up, it requires a manual fsck to fix the drive and bring the server back up again. When it occurs, there are no log entries about the problem that I can find. Below is information from my logs about the machine. I am experiencing almost the identical problem on another machine running FreeBSD 4.3 Release with an older version of the IBM drives, and an older Adaptec card. I am also running FreeBSD 3.4 with an identical setup as the 4.3 box, and not experiencing this problem. Each of the 3 systems mentioned are running 2 drives, with a 3 position cable, 1 for the SCSI card, and 1 for each drive, all configured in the same manner. Any information on a fix for this problem, or where to check beyond replacing hardware ( have replaced drives in the 4.3 machine with no effect ) would be greatly appreciated. Here is the information from the machine that might be helpful in tracking down the problem. I'll gladly give any additional information needed.
